History Fair

﻿﻿﻿The Illinois History Expo is an annual statewide competition that gives students an opportunity to display their knowledge on a topic through various history related projects pertaining to IL. 7th grade History Fair Project work begins at TVMS on in January. Final projects are due and displayed in the TVMS cafeteria in March. The IL History Fair Project consists of a visual display and research paper. The project's title must be about a State of IL or local topic in history, preferably at least 50 years old. The project can be completed by an individual, a pair of students, or a group of three students. Projects earning an A or B moved on to compete at the regional level Eastern Illinois University in Charleston in March. In April, some projects are chosen to be on display at the McLean County Museum of History.
